Theta decay slower on some days than others on 0dte, its like the market “knows” something? 🤔

Investor summaryNeutral

Author questions why theta decay on 0dte options varies daily, suspecting hidden market knowledge affects pricing.

Post body

And no I’m not talking about fed days or big news days. Some days I’ll open a 0dte iron condor and get my 50% profit within an hour, but other days despite paying similar premium for the same width, the decay just isn’t happening and stays stuck only for a big move later to wipe me out?

It’s almost the market God or “someone” knows something that I don’t and hence greatly slows down the theta decay some days. Why is this?
